Dead Precedents, Riley T. Svikhart
Dead Precedents, Riley T. Svikhart
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
Part I explores the Roberts Court’s reluctance to overrule Supreme Court precedents more thoroughly. Part II provides a modest account for this phenomenon. Section II.A considers the relationship between the Roberts Court’s reluctance to overrule Supreme Court precedents and its law declaration bent. Section II.B evaluates this reluctance in light of the doctrinal commitment of stare decisis. Finally, Section II.C examines the link between the Roberts Court’s treatment of dying precedents and its trademark adherence to the constitutional avoidance doctrine.

2016 Trademark Year In Review, Mark P. Mckenna, Shelby Niemann
2016 Trademark Year In Review, Mark P. Mckenna, Shelby Niemann
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
This brief Essay reviews some of the most significant developments in trademark law during the past year. In most cases, we have interpreted “year” fairly liberally, particularly to highlight some longer-term trends. We focus on six areas: (1) the constitutionality of section 2(a) of the Lanham Act; (2) the Fourth Circuit’s Belmora decision and the availability of section 43(a) claims when the plaintiff has not used a mark in the United States; (3) the effect of B & B Hardware; (4) injunctive relief and the presumption of irreparable harm; (5) nominative fair use; and (6) initial interest confusion.
New Wine In Old Wineskins: Metaphor And Legal Research, Amy E. Sloan, Colin Starger
New Wine In Old Wineskins: Metaphor And Legal Research, Amy E. Sloan, Colin Starger
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
This Essay argues that conceptualizing emerging legal technologies using inherited research metaphors is like pouring new wine in old wineskins—it simply doesn’t work. This Essay proposes to replace outdated research metaphors with updated metaphors that can provide the fresh wineskin to conceptualize current research challenges.

Judges As Politicians: The Enduring Tension Of Judicial Elections In The Twenty-First Century, Richard Lorren Jolly
Judges As Politicians: The Enduring Tension Of Judicial Elections In The Twenty-First Century, Richard Lorren Jolly
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
Elections transform the basis of judicial legitimacy. Whereas a permanently appointed judiciary finds support in its supposed neutrality, the democratic judiciary demands responsiveness. Yet while this is obvious to scholars, the electorate, and most judges—and is in fact confirmed by much statistical data—the Supreme Court and others continue to insist that judicial campaigns can be sculpted to ensure robust democratic debate without compromising the bench’s impartiality. This Essay rejects the notion that the court can be both democratic and disinterested. It reviews the volatile history of judicial elections as well as the modern web of distinctions between protected and proscribable …
Formal Declarations Of Intended Childcare Parentage, Jeffrey A. Parness
Formal Declarations Of Intended Childcare Parentage, Jeffrey A. Parness
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
This Essay first reviews current state imprecise childcare parentage laws and then considers the importance of parental intentions in such laws. This Essay goes on to suggest new mechanisms for formal declarations of intended childcare parentage. Such declarations would not necessarily determine childcare parentage under law. Still, they would be quite helpful when courts assess earlier actions when determining imprecise childcare parentage issues.

Recent Case: Syed V. M-I, Llc, Lowell Ritter
Recent Case: Syed V. M-I, Llc, Lowell Ritter
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
In a case of first impression for the federal appellate courts, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held in Syed v. M-I, LLC that when a liability waiver is included in the document that contains the disclosure and authorization information, the FCRA is violated based on Section 1681b(b)(2)(A)’s mandate that the document consist “solely” of the disclosure and authorization. More importantly, the court held that including such a liability waiver was a willful violation of the statute, potentially resulting in increased penalties.
Incentivizing Graffiti: Extending Copyright Protection To A Prominent Artistic Movement, Sara Cloon
Incentivizing Graffiti: Extending Copyright Protection To A Prominent Artistic Movement, Sara Cloon
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
This Note outlines a brief history of graffiti, emphasizes the growing importance of graffiti as an accepted and widespread artistic movement, and applies the copyright requirements under the Copyright Act and the Visual Artists Rights Act to graffiti. Finally, this Note argues that under an incentive-based theory of intellectual property, copyright law should not exclude graffiti when it already fits within statutory law, as this would create inefficiency and contradiction in copyright law, which is meant to continually expand to accept new art forms.
Lafler V. Cooper's Remedy: A Weak Response To A Constitutional Violation, Matthew T. Ciulla
Lafler V. Cooper's Remedy: A Weak Response To A Constitutional Violation, Matthew T. Ciulla
Notre Dame Law Review Reflection
The Lafler v. Cooper Court should have chosen the remedy of specific performance of the original plea bargain. The specific performance remedy, long implemented by federal courts in Lafler-like scenarios, and ordered by the district court in Lafler, precisely cures the Lafler injury—the accused regains the ability to accept the original plea offer, except he now has the benefit of effective assistance of counsel. The specific performance remedy, when coupled with the safeguards of the Strickland prongs, poses little risk of abuse, and gives heft to the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of effective assistance of counsel in the plea …
